Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the power consumption of the detecting system adjustable rather than fixed. The controlling circuit dynamically changes the power consumption level based on predicted vehicle states (speed and acceleration), allowing the system to adapt between high reliability mode and energy-saving mode according to actual driving conditions

Inventive Principle:
